Let's prepare a manuscript for my current research, keep on going, continue inputs and outputs.

I am planning to get the CIC certification🤔

And today, I joined the EBP and KT journal club with @at-ayeaye.bsky.social and discussed EBP education
I truly appreciate these opportunities to learn!

Second, I joined the regular IPC journal club where I learn with Japanese IPC experts, graduate students, and researchers in IPC

First, I joined the IPC journal club by @ipcpartners.bsky.social for the first time
It was a good opportunity for me to learn about IPC in English

I joined three journal clubs on IPC and EBP this weekend
I appreciate these opportunities to learn

anyway, first of all, i need to take a rest
it was a very tough and challenging journey for me
it might not be the best one, but i did as much as i could, i feel that it was more than enough

I was there and still remember the moment the string snapped
Futoshi Abe is one of my most favorite guitarists in my life
Thanks for sharing this video

thank you for sharing
(how are you and your family? i will send you a postcard after i finish my defense..)

It's been a while, bsky

Hi, I'm here

I love doing research but I never like deadlines

I have not eaten Ozoni yet this year

I did my work so hard and there were no happy holidays and no happy new year

U.S. may require tourists to disclose social media history to customs The U.S. is planning to require all foreign tourists to disclose five years of their social media history under a new proposal for enhanced border security.

I know the viewpoint of this review was a bit biased, because I am an infection control nurse

currently, I have recognized that we need to learn from elderly care practices in LTCFs when talking about IPC there

our ScR shows the complexity of IPC determinants in LTCFs and the interesting research gaps

The Multiple Determinants of Infection Prevention and Control Practices in Nursing Homes: A Scoping Review To map the barriers and facilitators influencing infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in nursing homes (NHs) from a behavior change perspective and to identify research gaps.

my IPC research focuses on behavior change as well
I use TDF and COM-B to understand IPC determinants in the LTCF setting
